There is a video inside the full article.A school resource officer at Okeechobee Achievement Academy in Florida stood over the 10-year-old boy as his mother asked: “Does he have the same rights as an adult?” Then, the officer reached for the boy’s wrists.
“I don’t want to be touched,” John Benjamin said, throwing his hands in the air. “I don’t like to be touched.”
His mother, Luanne Haygood, who was filming the emotional scene, said she and her son had been called into the school for state standardizing testing April 12; while they were there, she said, officers arrested her son for an incident that occurred in October.
He spent the night behind bars at a juvenile facility, Haygood said.
Haygood said John Benjamin, who has been diagnosed with autism, had kicked and scratched his paraprofessional educator (also known as an educational assistant) and, unknown to his own family, had an outstanding warrant for battery on a school board employee, a third-degree felony.
My thoughts.
1. The Authorities involved with this should be fired and taken to court to be sued individually and the school should be sued separately. Make an example of these fucktards. I'm sorry but some common fucking sense should be applied in situations like this.
2. The cops should have the shit kicked out of them for how they handled the situation. There is nothing preventing them from letting the mother take him down to the fucking police station un-cuffed.
